Description

The living is certainly easy in Hygge House; an impressive architecturally designed & stylishly furnished two bed holiday home in the stunningly beautiful village of Shaldon.

"Hygge" (pronounced Hoo-gah) is a Danish word that evokes moments of bliss, comfort, cosiness and friendship - something that the Hygge House delivers whether the sun is shining or not.

BedroomsTwo beautifully appointed bedrooms offer a king-sized bed in one room and two 3ft singles in another which can be zipped together if required. If you wish to invite another guest, a camp bed can be set up in the communal area. Travel cots are also available on request.

Both bedrooms have en-suites where you will find snuggly towels, shower gel & soap.

Living roomRelax after a long day exploring in front of a romantic log burner with all the wood you need or switch on the Smart TV for Freeview & On Demand services. If you feel like a little bit of jazz with dinner, the Sonos surround sound system will offer all the music you need, while the kids can be entertained with a variety of board games, a Brio set and even a doll's house.

KitchenIf you would like to cook the fish you have brought home from the beach, the well-appointed kitchen will offer everything you need. With a Neff oven, induction hob, integral microwave and a fridge with freezer compartments you really have a 'home from home'. Best of all, the dishwasher and washing machine will mean that you won't be slaving over the sink! Don't worry about bringing kitchen essentials - everything you need is provided, including a highchair, plastic cutlery, bowls and plates for the little ones. There's also a freezer situated in the garage just outside.

DiningA dining table with four chairs is ideal for a small group or you can eat al fresco BBQ on the patio while looking out across the Teign Estuary as the sun sets in the background.

Outside & ParkingAs well as the outdoor seating area and gas BBQ, the shed is fully stocked with everything a beach holiday needs including buckets, spades and crabbing nets. Don't forget to let us know if you need beach towels (at a small charge). The drive has enough space for 2 cars.

LocationSituated on the South Devon coast across the Teign estuary and opposite the resort of Teignmouth; Shaldon is an unspoilt Georgian village with a great range of local shops and attractions.

Shaldon is a blessed with a large number of independent shops; a butcher with fruit & veg, a baker, convenience store, lots of cafés, restaurants and there are some very good eateries close by in Teignmouth too.

The Trust is located by the large Ness Car Park at the top of the village, and this is the nearest place to park to reach the Ness Cove beach - via The Smugglers Tunnel.

We had a lovely stay, no complaints at all.Miss Julie Sanders - 28th September 2018

Lovely relaxing stay at Hygge House - beautifully decorated and all modern furnishings. We enjoyed our week in Shaldon, lots to do in the surrounding area. Miss Karen Kemp - 3rd September 2018

The owners could not be more helpful and accommodating!Claire Thomas - 14th August 2018

Shaldon was a great spot to stay it was close to other resorts. The property was of a very high standard tucked away down a short private road with beautiful views of the river mouth. Shaldon was a great little village too. It had a great bakers, butchers and village shop, there were plenty of places to reach from Shaldon and we enjoyed plenty of walks and meals. There was a great cafe at Ness Cove ( the Ode Cafe), not to mention their Pizza restaurant. Would definitely visit again.Mrs Carole Keith - 9th July 2018

Stylish, elegant and comfortable.Mrs Anne Harding - 20th March 2018

We had some unforeseen family events which caused us to change our original booking at the last minute, the Team at Discovery Homes were fantastic in assisting us to make a very late change to our booking.
They also kept the owners of the property informed as to our circumstances, who were exceptionally kind and supportive during this time.
We had a lovely time at Hygge House and would thoroughly recommend it to everyone who wants to stay in the most relaxing and comfortable house in Shaldon.Mrs Lorraine Roberts (AirBnB) - 26th February 2018

Hygge House was just perfect for our stay visiting family and friends locally over the Christmas holidays. The property was warm and cosy, well furnished and equipped. The owners Dan and Shonagh had decorated the property beautifully with a generous welcome pack and extra Chritsmas treats on arrival, much appreciated. Shaldon is a pretty village with good amenities and shopping as well as places to eat and beach walks for our dog. Ou booking via Discovery Holidays was efficient throughout. A very Happy Holiday....Mrs Jane Lea - 29th December 2017

First class accommodation. We will return to this property again without checking any alternatives. The hospitality shown by Dan and Shonagh plus the little 'arrival' touches was very much appreciated.Mr Terry Kelly - 4th October 2017

It does what it says! We had a wonderful chilled cosy time at this modern well equipped cabin less than a minute from the water. Highly recommended if you want to relax but be close enough to good pubs and eateries in Shaldon.Reynolds Family - 20th September 2017

Amazing place! Excellent open plan layout fitted out with great taste. The place was spotless and felt like a home straight away. Underfloor heating electric blinds quality showers it felt like a hotel, the sonos sound system was excellent too. setting was very peaceful and only a short walk into Shaldon, excellent communication with Discovery, was quick and easy and we were even surprised with some very tasty scones on the second day. Would recommend this place to anyone!Skillan Family - 30th April 2017

What a lovely place to stay. Beautifully appointed with wood burning stove & fantastic showers. Walks to the village 10 minutes to lovely pubs with great grub!
